   * Make sure the "8 bit" cable is connected between DAS "DigiOut" board and VSIC

+==== Realtime copying of data ====
+`vsib_send` will send .lba data files when they are "complete", ie the end of 1 1 minute file in normal setup.
+On the recorder run (for example):
+   vsib_send -online -H cetus -p 11111
+On the receiving machine (cetus in the example above)
+   vsib_recv -p 11111
+The port numbers must match and be allowed through filewall
+==== Realtime spectra ====
+Create realtime spectra to be loaded onto the interactive webpage:
+   fauto_ipp -n 80000 -bw1 2.25 -bw2 2.65 -t 60s -online -noplot -dump -command "scp %s yarrie:atca.spec"
+   fauto_ipp -noplot -n 4000 -t 10s -online -dump -command "scp %s yarrie:atca_full.spec"'
+Create realtime spectra in ".rdr" format and copy to the ATNF ftp area (using `vsib_send`):
+   fauto_ipp -n 4000000 -bw1 2.4 -bw2 2.5 -t 1s -online -dump -radar -noplot -lo 7159 -command "vsib_send -p 50001 -H cetus %s"
+This requires a vsib_recv process running on "cetus", on port 50001:
+   vsib_recv -p 50001
